    New Year's Eve

    Definitely do this - we did it about 5 years ago and got to experience them both. As others are saying be there EARLY (I think we might have done morning AK on the 31st then went to Epcot before lunch time) because the parks close due to capacity by afternoon. Also don't expect to do many...

    Why not a more complete section for Walt Disney memorabilia

    The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco does a great job of this. Since its not affiliated with the company in any way it gives a more complete view of his life including some of the down parts (his fights with labor for instance). I think it would be nice to keep some history of Walt in...

    Staying at All Stars Music but daughter wants a day at Legoland...

    I believe there is a rental car center at the Swan & Dolphin. It may be easier and not much more to simply have a daily rental from them. Book ahead of time though!

    Tips for Aulani?

    My wife and I went this past February and loved our time there. We’d love to go back but the long flight is a killer. We stayed on the DVC side and the rooms were plenty large although the triangular balcony was a bit odd. I understand its set up that way to maximize ocean views but it limits...

    Aloha Isle and Sunshine Tree Terrace switching locations late next week

    Since they offer an orange flavor at Aloha isle, I can't imagine it would be that hard to combine the two at Sunshine Terrace in the long term.

    Disney sued for $250 million by woman claiming Frozen is stolen from her life story

    I play video games, clearly Wreck-It-Ralph was based on my life.

    DHS DHS Soundstage 1 Renovation - Toy Storia Mania expansion

    I was thinking this got lost in the shuffle and seemed the most likely move with Star Wars in the future and Backlot closing down. Now that I hear the big wigs are walking around here's hoping something more than a restaurant relocate is coming.

    2015: The year of the EPCOT makeover?

    Add two or three years to every date you have there and thats a better starting point. I'd agree most of this will happen but its will be the better part of 10 years before its all complete.

    Superstar Theater's Fate

    I personally would relocate Muppets 3D to that block to facilitate SW Land moving backward into the Streets of America, but it seems unlikely. Frozen seems a more likely stopgap until further SW plans appear.

    Have you ever been evacuated off of a Disney ride?

    Happened to us the first time ever last fall. We were on Splash Mountain just before the drop into the Laughin Place and were waiting there for several minutes before they came over the loudspeaker and announced that we'd be walked out of the ride. They had to come and release the safety locks...

    Starbucks Trolley Car Cafe on Hollywood Blvd at Disney's Hollywood Studios?

    My only concern is how much of the patio space behind the shop they would potentially take away. I like the bench behind the shop and just off of Sunset as a place to relax for a few minutes and eat an ice cream. The old car there helps provide a buffer and the plants make it slightly more...

    Best Counter Service in the Magic Kingdom

    Be Our Guest isn't as quick an option given the lines and popularity but it definitely has the best food for counter service at MK. For "true" counter service, count me in on Columbia Harbor House. Finally got a chance to try Tortuga Tavern on the last trip and thought it was a good option...

    New EPCOT DVC?

    I'd be more interested in seeing some DVC rooms at the Yacht Club. Love that resort but since we bought into DVC we probably won't be staying there anymore.

    PH at MK.....

    PH never interested me but I'd be on board with them putting it into AK. I think it could definitely fit as a bridge between Avatar and Discovery Island.

    MK Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Mountain Mine Moving Car Coaster

    Speaking as a Tolkienite, thank you for that.

    Splash Mountain closing for annual refurbishment in January 2014

    Exactly what we saw, except we must have seen it a couple of days afterwards because most of those PVC pipes had plasterwork and painting completed so they looked like wood. We thought it was cool to see how they take something simple and transform it into the show elements. I'd have to look up...

    Future World West waterways dry

    It was drained a couple of weeks ago as well. Had it been refilled in the interim?

    Splash Mountain closing for annual refurbishment in January 2014

    When we were there a couple of weeks ago we saw them in process adding new hanging lights to the loop after the drop. I got a picture of them working but don't have it handy. They were also doing work near the second lift one day so this refurb definitely had focus on the mechanical components...

    Ever had to be evacuated from a ride

    Happened to us last fall on Splash just before the drop into the Laughing Place. We waited a while then they came to get everyone out of the boats and took us out back down the stairs. It was cool but some kids kept leaning on the set and taking pictures and were getting yelled at by the CMs...

    Castle Turret SILVER!

    No, its definitely being painted over. I was there last week and can confirm that spires that were silver on Sunday were a new coat of blue by Saturday. A couple were even half and half on days when the wind prevented them from completing the work.
